Fun with Fermentation with Nicoline!Our Fall Season is here!
For me, that always signals a shift.
We start coming back inside.
We crave warm, satisfying comfort food.
Our kitchens start smelling like soups, stews, roasted vegetables and slow-cooked meals.
And for many of us, this is also the time to preserve some of that beautiful local food so we can enjoy it long after the growing season ends.
Long before we had refrigerators, people were doing exactly that through lacto-fermentation.
Fermentation was a practical way to preserve the harvest and keep food available through the colder months.
But something pretty incredible happens during that process.
Beneficial bacteria transform the food.
They create acids that help preserve it while also producing the tangy, complex flavours we associate with foods like sauerkraut and kimchi.
And we now know fermented foods can do much more than extend the life of our vegetables.
They can introduce beneficial microbes and fermentation compounds into the diet, support microbial diversity in the gut, and contribute to the relationship between gut health, immune function and the gut-brain connection.
In other words, an ancient food-preservation technique also gave us what we would now call a functional food.
And you can learn how to make it yourself.
🥬 Fun with Fermentation is back Saturday, October 24 at Ohana Wellness.

This is a hands-on afternoon in the kitchen with me where you’ll learn the basics of safe lacto-fermentation, taste different fermented foods, and then get your hands right into it.
You’ll make two different sauerkrauts and one kimchi to take home and ferment.
I’ll provide all of your ingredients and supplies, and you’ll also leave with recipes and resources so you can keep fermenting at home.
